You have the hump because you know full well that you can't obtain tinted plates from a legitimate supplier, hence why you're clutching at straws about advertising someone by a post code for an excuse.
Ridiculous.

Lets make it proportional. 10% of the value of car when new. Im sure then ops BMW fine would make him change plates quick time. Infact if you dont want to adhere to the rules of the road, after your first fine then its crushed. Tinted plates are illegal for a reason.
If you want to drive on the roads, abide by the law.
Could you please find a fact on law that tinted plates are illegal and post the link as I can't find one anywhereIf you want to drive on the roads, abide by the law.

ks.Anyone else still reading this rubbish ever chosen a number plate supplier by reading the post code from a plate, then researched who and where the business is located within that area?
Want some more straws to clutch?

For a start, tinted white wouldn't be white would it?display black characters on a white background (front plate)

The Road Vehicles (Display of Registration Marks) Regulations 2001 1. The plate must be made of retroreflecting material which, as regards its construction, colour and other qualities, complies with the requirements of—
(a) the British Standard specification for retroreflecting number plates published on 15 January 1998 under number BS AU 145d(a), or
(b) any other relevant standard or specification recognised for use in an EEA State and which, when in use, offers a performance equivalent to that offered by a plate complying with the British Standard specification,
and which, in either case, is marked with the number (or such other information as is necessary to permit identification) of that standard or specification.

The OP with his "superior intellect" has failed to grasp the basic fact that the law requires the BS mark to be on the number plate and makers details and postcode. It is not advertising it's the law.

The British standard actually goes further - requiring the number plate to conform to specific colorimetric and retroreflective tests:Tinted isn't reflective, is it?

Despite the OPs claims that the number plate meets all legal requirements (which they don't anyway due to the lack of the BS number of manufacturers details) - I seriously doubt the police who the OP claims "did all the checks and my number plates passed all tests" had the necessary equipment to be able to confirm that it met the British standard.
Were the plates sent off to have these tests performed on them?
The police are really not doing their jobs properly stopping him eight times before finally reporting for prosecution. I have the feeling that the OP thinks he is going to have a discussion in court about the finer points of colour tinting rather than the simple question "does it show the BS mark as required by law" followed by a guilty verdict and a fine plus.

Oh I know, BS are never one to just specify "white". But I didn't want to introduce spectrometry to someone that fails to understand basic colours....https://www.bikechatforums.com/files/bs_au_145d.pd...
